Eternal comfort and good hope through grace.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

It is the amazing gift that has no end, given to us freely by our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father. He gives freely, perhaps more freely than we are willing to believe or to ask. But as we accept His amazing grace, we know that those who ask shall have it given in abundance pressed down and overflowing. And we overflow to bring His grace and love to a sin sick hurting world around us. He is ready to use our good works and word to bring glory to His name in all that we do and say. Do we ask in faith, expecting His amazing grace to overflow to those around us?

Thank You for loving us and giving us Your grace; we are secure in You and want to bring glory to Your name in every good work and word that You have laid out for us today.
